Maybelline color sensational lipstick

From my last post of Maybelline's color sensational lipstick, I remember when I said that I'd like to have them in the US packaging. TADA! :D 

The US line is now available locally! :D yipee! I love the packaging, It does look like CG's Lip Perfection (review soon)

of course I wont settle for nude shades, hello bright pink! 

here's the swatch on my lips :) the actual photo is pink-er and a tad brighter.

In comparison with the previous color sensational lipstick
(wait! this does not mean that the previous line is discontinued. It's still on the market!)
*Both are incredibly nourishing.

*The US line is a bit creamier

*The US line is more pigmented

*I like the US packaging more *teehee*

Price

*US line - 399

*Previous line - 299

(pardon me for calling them the 'previous' and the 'US Line' haha)

Repurchase?

Oh yes :D Maybelline never failed me when it comes to lipsticks! :D 

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick

Hi guys! I will review all the lipsticks that I've acquired (last year) since I started hoarding.

This is from Maybelline, well this is not my ultimate favorite but I like these lipsticks.

(Angel Rose)

Since I've depotted all of my lipsticks, this is the only photo that would best describe

 how does the packaging look like. Well what I like about it's packaging is that it is color coordinated 

with it's shade, coral shades fall under the orange casing, nude shades fall under the brown casing,

 pink shades has a pink casing and reds has a red casing.

(L-R:)

Angel Rose

nude pink

Soft Azalea

fuchsia, bordering to red

Blushing Berry

red, but with a hint of pink

Passion Red

red, but not striking red, sexy red ;)

Favorite shade:

Passion Red -  I love shades that are bright and striking ;)

oops! please don't mind my blurry friend :)) See? pretty shade! :D

Price:

P299

Pros:

-This gives a satin finish. Which I like. :).

-This is moisturizing.

-Color pay off is nice.

-If you're into 'safe' shades, (not striking shades) then this one's for you.

Cons:

-Staying power is a bit poor, but justifiable.

-few shades! :( yes, they're still few for me.

-if you're into bright lipsticks, this is not for you.

-not kiss-proof

-I like the US packaging, way better.

Repurchase?

-yes! well despite that I had more cons. I still like this lipstick. Well, I'd buy them if it's on sale or if mom will buy one for me :)

Maybelline Fruity Jelly Gloss

Ahhh lip glosses, lip glosses were a part of my highschool life.

I remember when I had those that smelss like strawberry, 

those gloss palettes from local make up brands,

oh nostalgia. (lol)

okay! so I went with my mom while she was doing her grocery,

and thank you shopwise for having Maybelline there! (yey!)

So I went to Maybelline and grabbed this product at once,

cause I felt like getting it

and chose this gloss in sparkling raspberry

It's just your typical tube gloss.

the nozzle is quite thin, and because of it's angled tip,

 it does a good help when applying it on your lips.

Pros:
Cheap! Php99
the scent is somewhat sweet
a little blob is enough!

Cons:
Sticky when applied
If you'll add a lot, you'll look like you've eaten a very oily food!

Repurchase?
Might, I still have a lot of glosses in my kit :)

VS time: Maybelline Clear Smooth All In One Shine Free Foundation vs. Maybelline Clear Smooth Extra Shine Free Powder Foundation

Comparing time! So Maybelline released this new face powder which is:

tada! :)

So here's the chic packaging, well it's mainly made out of plastic,

but I love that the front cover is PINK and it is two-toned! :)

There are tiny holes for the sponge, for ventilation.

I used this baby already before taking photos.

Got too excited! sorry! :)

Has a bigger mirror, compared to the blue one 

Maybelline says:

Ney says:

Shine Control - yes it does, I wore this, only this yesterday, it did reduce my oily-ness,

but again, not a drastic change. *urgh oily face!*

High UV protection - ok so that I cannot test. But this one has a higher UV protection

Instant Fairness - I cannot test this one because I tend to choose a shade darker than what my

actual shade is, because I have a very acidic skin, the products that I apply tend to oxidize,

it does make my make up lighter, as well as my lipsticks.

But this shade, the darkest shade that they have, matches my skin perfectly.

Dark Spots Blend Away - oh yes it did! I remember when I applied it on my eye area,

and my eyelashes went white. (LOL)

Visibly Smooth Complexion - Yep.

Conceal Blemishes and Pores - well it did reduce the appearance of my

imperfections but concealers are still a need when you want a full coverage.

But with this alone is fine for me. It did conceal my dark under-eye.

Tone Perfecting - It matches my skin perfectly! :)

Cons:

Lasting power is quite poor, most specially on my t-zone. Well, considering that I have a very oily skin (specially on my t-zone), and I wore only this, I did not expect this to last long on my face.

Price: 

Php250

Refills for Php149!

Repurchase?

Yes!

Okay! So when compared with:

See I have two shades? well the story is that, I was a bummer last summer of 2011

and decided to combine my two Maybelline face powder.

I de-potted them, mixed the two shades and them compressed it once more :)

Ney says:

Shine Control - Just the same with the pink one

UV Protection - has SPF20

Concealing - does a good job in concealing as well

  

Cons:

Has a lower SPF, Compared to the pink one

Does not last long on my face, But this lasts a tad more than the pink one.

Price:

Php249

Repurchase?

This has been my foundation for like 3 years already, I love this one but I am somewhat enjoying the pink one, but I'm still holding on to this product! :) so it's a yes i guess.

Here are the swatches. (L-R) blue, pink.

Both in Sand beige, the blue one is just somewhat altered. :)

Urgh, My foundations looked abused here. oops.

So who won anyway?

This one's a close fight, I would continue using the blue one, but I love how the pink one is pink (lol)

and I like that has a higher SPF, Has Vitamin C, and It has a refill. So:

This baby wins!

Maybelline Clear Smooth Aqua Gel Foundation

One of my few make ups that are not mineral. :)

Maybelline's Clear Smooth Aqua Gel Foundation:

Maybelline said:

*Water-based formula gives a skin light and fresh sensation

-true!

*Controls shine for an all day perfect and healthy-looking complexion

-true to that, but not all day

*Evens out skin tone and covers imperfections

-has medium coverage, applying more reduces imperfections

*Feels soothing and cares for your skin white chamomile, aloe and Vitamin E

-does feel cool, has no scent, does feel light and does give me any break outs! :)

*100% Oil Free , Dermatologist Tested, Allergy Tested, Fragrance free, Hypoallergenic, Won't clog pores

Here's the tip. It still looks like this clean till now.

The product, it's really in gel form so I find this great.

Before

  After

My break outs :(. Got them this summer of 2011, I seriously didn't know how I got them, It's the first time that I had a serious break out but I'm happy that my skin is almost okay now.

For this pic, I did not moisturize my face so it looked dry. oops!

BTW. This is the darkest shade.

Okay! so there's the result. It has a medium coverage but as you apply more, it does give a full coverage.

Pros:

Gives a light feeling.

Medium-Full coverage.

Matte Finish.

Really oil controlling.

Affordable.

Cons:

None for this moment. I love this product :)

Price:

P349.00

Repurchase?

YES! :)
